What's On Your WorkDesk Wendy: a second look and a current look

 

I had another post already scheduled for today, until I learned about this incredible event that was about to take place.  My dear friend and host of WOYWW, Julia of Stamping Ground is celebrating her 600th week of blog hopping voyeurs deskers.  There's NO WAY I could pass up this once in a lifetime event that spans 11 years of sharing our desks each week.  Although I don't often join in anymore, I can't pass up this post, even though it intersects with my monthly Second on the 2nd.  

Here is a portion of my original post, which was first published on June 2, 2010.  It's now my Second on the 2nd post.

For those of you who don't know her, please meet WOYWWendy, or Wendy for short.  Wendy was born just in time for the very first WOYWW anniversary. (EDIT: She doesn't look too bad for being 11 years of age.)

For the first anniversary, here's what Julia proposed:

And don't forget the Week 52 First Year Anniversary Challenge. WOYWWAC. You don't have to have contributed a desk every week for a year to join - it's just a bit of fun! Make something lovely to enhance your work space......desktop, wall, floor, whatever! The challenge is to include the famous letters WOYWW on it somehow somewhere. How hard can it be?

My desk looks bland, but I created some WOYWW clothes pins and Wendy, who I created from scraps and a face I stamped.

 

To show I was out of my comfort zone, I even stamped the dragonflies and flowers, as well as stenciling the letters onto a pillowcase I cut down that I could use as a dust cover for my sewing machine.

Now it's time to share your own Second on the 2nd.  The rules are quite simple and everyone is welcome to join the fun look back.  All you have to do is bring back a post that you are especially proud of, or perhaps one you shared before anyone knew your blog existed.  Any post, any genre, any artistic endeavor is acceptable, as long as it's been published sometime in the past.  Then link below (direct links only, please) and Bleubeard and I, along with other Second on the 2nd friends, will be by to visit.   However, please only link if you are here for the Second on the 2nd.  

 

DO NOT LINK if you are only visiting from Julia's blog, but please leave your number so I can find you easily.

Now let's check out my desk today.

This is what my desk looked like at 3:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.  I've started working on a few Christmas gifts, so didn't bother straightening up.  What you see is what I'm working on.

 

Of course, I stacked the wood pieces, even though one was still rather wet with ink, and brought Wendy out front and center. I also chose an obligatory rocking horse, which I'm sure is why some people visit during this Wednesday romp.

And on my sewing "desk"

I'm sewing Lutrador.

I've taken up enough of your time today, so won't keep you any longer.  Please remember, if you are here for Second on the 2nd, please link as you normally would.  If you are here because you came from Julia's link, please leave a comment only so I know you dropped by.  Now let's join Julia for the 600th time (for many of you).
